MAILBOX COMPARISON
iPostal1 vs PostScan Mail: fees, locations and fit
Both price their entry personal plan almost identically around $10/month, so the real difference sits elsewhere: iPostal1 advertises a far larger location network and accepts mail-in cheque deposit, while PostScan Mail is the only provider in this comparison set with no cheque-deposit option at all and charges a separate $5/month fee for each recipient added beyond the two included on its Starter plan.
